Synopsis
Street hustler Jody plays any role that will win the confidence of a mark. His sights are set on Lord Cyril Belmont, a potential ticket to financial freedom that could change Jody’s life. With a fake investment scheme in mind and larceny in his heart, he sets a snare for the wealthy gentleman.
Cyril Belmont may have a title but he’s as broke as a china plate and on the verge of selling his dilapidated country estate to start a new life in America. When his quiet, solitary life is invaded by a bright, passionate man who sets his head spinning, Cyril is ready to share whatever he has with the electrifying stranger—including the deepest recesses of his heart.
As Jody begins to cultivate inexplicable feelings for the sweet, gentle man who raises rare orchids, he intends to end his seduction and slink back to the ghetto. But then his cover is blown and the budding romance is crushed.
It takes an ocean voyage and several unexpected twists of fate to bring two strangers to a true understanding of each other and the very real bond they share.

Review
I love me some well-written
historical romance. When the ambiance feels and is put down right, the picture
is more than pleasurable to visualize.
Cyril is a baron whose
estate is in ruins, no money or servants anymore. Jody is the thief and liar
who thought he caught a big fish.
Well prepared Jody approached
his target, Cyril. One goal, to rob this man. It was quite simple to get an
invitation to the man’s home. He easily could take a look around to find
valuable things.
But he’s completely floored
and disarmed by this trusting, kind, shy, and attentive man.
Still, he’s got business to
do.
Cyril cleared
his throat. “May I offer you some tea?”
“Fuck tea.”
Cyril is lovesick, he can’t
get the man out of his head.
Until he understands the
truth.
Everything felt plausible,
the polite language, the clothes, the traveling, all the environments. I loved
the story so much! This author has a great way of storytelling, I read it in
one sit.
There are some heartbreaking
side stories and their addition was everything.
These two men stole my
heart from the very first moment and throughout this story, they became ever
more adorable and lovable.
I loved the solution of how
Cyril and Jody could live together during the era they lived in.
This whole story is a great
addition to my bookshelf!
